Gaines has noted that Crew often acts as her kitchen sidekick. In one interview, she commented on his hands-on approach, stating he wants to touch and stir ingredients. She suggested he might be the child most likely to become a chef in the family.
Prior to the baking video, Gaines also posted a video of Crew helping in the garden. The clip featured Crew watering plants outdoors. Gaines captioned this post with "Soundtrack for the weekend," referencing the natural sounds accompanying the activity.
Followers responded to the gardening video, noting Crew's abilities and the visible connection between mother and son. Some suggested his interest could point toward becoming a horticulturist. The family is also known for its garden activities, as seen in past posts showing Crew helping with store displays.
Beyond Crew's activities, Joanna Gaines has discussed family life and business operations. She manages multiple ventures, including appearing on the HGTV network and running Magnolia Network projects.
